Question

HURRY!!!!!!!!!! Earth and all of the air in the atmosphere around it make up an incredibly complex system. Energy is constantly changing forms in many different ways. How would scientists most likely describe the system of the Earth in regard to energy? Earth is an isolated closed system because energy only escapes the system as heat travels into space. Earth is an isolated closed system because the atmosphere allows energy from the Sun to enter as heat. Earth is an open system because the atmosphere stops energy from escaping into space. Earth is an open system because heat energy from the Sun enters through the atmosphere.

Answer 1

The answer should be D. “Earth is an open system because heat energy from the sun enter through the atmosphere.”

Answer 2

Answer: Earth is an open system because heat energy from the Sun enters through the atmosphere.

Explanation:

There are three types of system:

1. Isolated system: A system in which neither energy nor matter is exchanged with the surroundings.

2. Open system: A system in which both energy and matter is exchanged with the surroundings.

3. Closed system: A system in which only energy but not matter is exchanged with the surroundings.

Thus as heat energy from the sun is absorbed by the earth and then is radiated back, it is an example of open system.
